The Moment anamorphic lens brings the cinema to your smartphone! You can shoot in an incredible anamorphic ratio to bring cinema quality to your videos!
An Anamorphic Lens:
Spherical lenses project a circular image onto the film whereas anamorphic lenses project an oval-shaped image.
Originally anamorphic lenses had a 2x squeeze, this meant that they captured twice the amount of horizontal information as a spherical lens.
A standard spherical lens at a ratio of 2.39:1 would only fill 50% of each frame’s area whilst an anamorphic fills 100%.
To fill 100% of the film an anamorphic lens compresses the projected image along the longer dimension, this means it needs to be stretched in post-production to display as intended.
The end result is an aspect ratio of 2.39:1 and a higher vertical resolution than a spherical lens cropped to the same ratio. (Medium)
For a more in depth explanation of what an anamorphic lens is, Moment have done a fantastic explainer. Which you can read by clicking here!
The Anamorphic Lens with Blue Flare from Moment brings the early 1960’s cinematic look to your phone videos. The lens inspired from JJ Abrams films, gives you a brighter, sci-fi look when shooting into lights. So that’s headlights, streetlights or even directional lights. To create the anamorphic Lenses, Moment have tailored their blue coatings to produce a distinct flare which works well with all of the latest camera phones.
Designed with their premium cinema glass you will get edge to edge clarity and a true Anamorphic flare and it looks FANTASTIC!

We loved the DJI Pocket and when we heard that the DJI Pocket 2 is coming out we were immediately excited to learn more! For those unaware, the DJI Pocket 2 is a pocket sized and really portable camera. Why do we like it so much? As you can use it single handedly to record moments. The DJI Pocket 2 has a stabiliser on it and it can take sharp photos and smooth videos. It can fit absolutely anywhere, even in your bag, your hand and your pocket. You can literally take it anywhere. Like something you see? Just take it out and start recording!
Not only can you begin shooting in just one second you can also take images in a high definition 180 degree panorama! You can even take a selfie with everyone in it in a 3×3 panorama! What we also like is that you will never miss the shot as Active track 3.0 will track and keep everything in the shot, regardless of the movement. Whilst story mode will allow you to use video and music templates to make exciting movies in just 1 tap. Don’t think you’re a good editor? Well DJI’s AI editor will automatically combine your clips with transitions and music to create amazing content! Timelapse feature will create fantastic timelapses and turn hours in to seconds, whilst motionlapse will add smooth camera movement and hyperlapse will help you travel through time!
DJI Pocket 2 Camera Tech

Whilst that is really cool, we are really impressed by the audio tech on the Pocket 2! It has DJI Matrix Stereo which will record audio with lots of detail. The Pocket 2 will adjust the direction of the audio enhancement wherever the camera is pointing. Therefore the subject of your shot will always be heard clearly! Audio Zoom is another really cool feature, as the camera zooms in so does the audio. Creating a dynamic soundtrack. Pocket 2 will also record in 3 distinct sound patterns to suit the scene.
We’ve recently had the pleasure of testing out the small city car the Honda E. It’s brand new and it’s a right little city slicker! It’s perfect for whizzing around the city or cruising in the countryside. Furthermore it’s Electric! So, it’s amazing to the environment and even better on your wallet!
It’s a nippy little car too, hitting 0-60 in 8.3 seconds! While it can go up to 137miles without needing a charge and if you are using a superfast 50kw charger it can get from 0-80% battery in just 31mins!
The Honda describes the Honda E as:
The new Honda e is a car designed and shaped by the city and how we live our lives today. A car that seamlessly links all the different aspects of your life with intelligent connectivity. A car created with a sporty character, yet capable of offering remarkable levels of comfort. And of course, a car that produces zero emissions.
We have to say that the design of the Honda E is something to behold, it’s a friendly little car and isn’t mean or bulky looking it’s in fact rather cute! It not only looks good but the design helps to reduce drag! Which in turn will improve efficiency!
Design
The Honda E is designed in a rather genius way as there’s A LOT of tech in one single panel. The front headlights, radar sensor and front facing camera are all located in one panel! How cool is that! What’s even cooler is that two compact high definition cameras replace conventional mirrors! We’re also very impressed by a dramatic black tinted glass roof!
Advanced tech is not limited to the inside either, the front door handles fit flush to the body work. They only extend outwards and illuminate once you approach the car. While on the rear they’re hidden within the window areas. The front/rear headlights also incorporate the indicators and the headlights even welcome you with a cool animation when you unlock the car! The charging point is centrally on the bonet. Therefore allowing you to access it from either side of the vehicle!
There is some smart design features that Honda have added which make all the difference. For example where you place your smartphone has been created from fabric to secure and protect it. Also, every passenger has their own USB port so everyone can keep their phones charged and connected!
The rear view mirror is dual function as it can be used in a conventional wide angle mirror mode, or in a camera mode. Which will provide you with a clear digital image, even at night. Whilst it also provides anti-dazzle technology to reduce glare from headlights.
The door mirrors have been replaced by HD cameras, which provide clear iamges on screens from within the cabin. The cameras are smaller than regular mirrors and fit well within the width of the car. Reducing drag, wind noise and drag. But are also great for narrow streets and car parks!
As you should know by now electricity is what powers this little beast. Electricity is cheap, efficient and provides zero emissions whilst not letting up on power and performance.
The Honda E has been designed to be electric from the ground up. Power comes from a compact 35.5kWh lithium-ion battery. It drives the rear wheels via an electric powertrain which has been developed for the Honda E. Fully charged it can hit up to 137miles. Perfect for city driving! Whilst performance and range are constantly maximised as there’s a clever system on board which helps keep the E’s battery at their optimum working temperature!
The Honda E has a smooth and instant response to pressing the accelator. It has a power output of 154PS and 315Nm of torque. There is a 50:50 weight distribution on the car and a low center of gravity. Giving it this sporty feel to the drive.
Whilst sport mode will increase the acceleration response even more! Turning on Single Pedal Control will allow you to drive with more ease. As you can accelerate and decelerate by pushig your foot down to go and taking it off to brake! The Honda E has a great turning circle too at only 4.3m you’re incredible manoeuvrable and agile, perfect for city driving! Not only that, furthermore the Honda Parking Pilot assistance will help you get the most out of the city.
Connected
You can connect to your Honda E with the My Honda+ app. It will allow you to schedule charge times, close the car windows and even pre-heat the interior! Use your smartphone as a Digital Key and unlock, lock and start the vehicle. Furthermore the voice activated Honda Personal Assistant can hold a natural conversation with you. AS it will use contextual understanding to learn how to offer you recommendations! Helping you to find nearest charging points, favourite music or restaurants!
The dashboard is incredible as it has five displays to always keep you informed, entertained and connected! Two central 12.3″ touchscreens allow multiple information to be accessed by both the driver and passenger. You can switch screens by simply swiping from one to another. Even personalise them with your favorite pics! Send destinations to the navigation system from your smartphone via the My Honda+ app. Select music and do extra things with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto!
The interior is spacious and beautifully designed, especially with the premium sound system providing the entertainment!
The seats in both the front and rear of the vehicle provide great legroom and are very very comfortable. The rear seats can also fold down and provide more boot space! LED Spotlights have been positioned overhead providing passengers with additional lighting!
Charging the Honda E is effortless thanks to the charging point in a very easy to reach part of the car, the center of the bonnet! It also features an integrated LED light which will clearly indicate the status of the charge. There is also a safety lock to ensure the power cable cannot be removed whilst in use.
The cable has been designed to be angled away from the car to protect the paintwork when charging. The charging times will vary depending on the type of charger that you use. But if you use the rapid charger charging to 80% will take 31 mins.
The Honda E has a lot of safety features to keep you safe whilst driving around. There is an advanced safety system including Honda SENSING. Which are designed to help you when you drive:
Collision Mitigation Brake System: If there is a possibility of a collision, with either a pedestrian or a cyclist. The safety system will alert you whilst simultaneously reducing speed. Helping to minimise the severity of an impact.
Road Departure Mitigation System: A camera will detect road boundaries. Therefore if the car begins to stray the system will provide a lane departure warning. The car will then automatically apply subtle corrections to the streeting to keep it in lane.
Traffic Sign Recognition System: Identifies traffic signs and relays the information to you via a visual display.
Lane Keeping Assist System: Provides a less stressful driving experience especially on motorways, by keeping the car in the middle of the lane. This can be overridden when the indicator is used.
Intelligent Speed Limiter: Automatically controls your vehicle’s speed to a speed pre-set by you or at the speed limit indicated by a traffic sign.
Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Follow: This will maintain a safe distance to the vehicle in front. While if a vehicle in an adjacent lane cuts in front of you, the Honda E will predict this and adjust the speed accordingly automatically. While it only will resume to a set speed when the danger has passed. Furthermore the low speed follow tech will detect if the vehicle in front comes to a stop. It will automatically decelerate and stop if the brakes aren’t applied.
Auto High-Beam Headlights: Detects a vehicle in front, including oncoming vehicles and automatically switches between high beam and low beam.
City Features
The Honda E has specific features that help the car adapt to the city too:
Lead Car Departure Notification System: Alerts the driver when the car in front has moved ahead from a standstill and you are still stationary.
Low Speed Braking Control: This system is a combination of the following functions:
Low Speed Brake Function: If you are close to an object that you may not have noticed whilst driving at low speed, the Honda e will decelerate and give an audio and visible warning before applying emergency braking.
Collision Mitigation Throttle System: This system will warn you if you press down on the accelerator pedal while there is an obstacle, such as a wall, in front of you.

We love our cars here at How To Kill An Hour and cars are getting more and more technological. If not for the tech inside the car, such as sound systems and air con, but the actual car itself. Electric cars are becoming more and more popular and there’s more choice on the market too. So we decided to check out Audi’s first fully electric production vehicle. The Audi e-Tron.
Turning Audi’s well-known e-tron technology into a series. The car has tons of personal space, a fantastic and a powerful driving experience all thrown into an SUV. An all electric SUV at that. This thing is a beast and can handle anything you throw at it, it will handle city driving with ease and will handle countryside driving with a breeze. It’s the ultimate everyday use car.
The e-tron is powered by two electric motors. Allowing the SUV, bearing in mind this thing is a beast. To go from 0-100km/h stupidly quick. During our tests Marcus estimates it’s around 5-6 seconds. So that’s comparable to a sports car. The Audi e-Tron is also all-wheel drive, allowing you to have optimal traction and handling in any driving condition. So, that’s right, you guessed it. Off roading!
The quattro drive can be switched on when required and the results are that which are specific to the situation that you are in. You’ll get situation specific torque distribution, flexible control of the axle movements!
Charing Solutions
Audi are great as they offer you various different ways to charge at home.
You can either use the standard mobile charging system, which allows you to use a household 23oV household outlet or a 400 volt three phase outlet.
Or you can use an optional “Connect” charging system. This doubles the charging power to as much as 22kW. Combined with a home energy management system this will offer some intelligent functions. As charging when electric is less expensive, or with solar electricity. If you have it of course. This will need a photovaltaic system if you choose this route of charging.
You can control all charging processes as well as pre-heating and pre-cooling via the myAudi app!
If you are just using the car for everyday driving, you won’t need to stop at charging stations. While if you are on a long trip you are able to use fast charging stations, which will use DC (direct current) at up to 150kW. This is a first for series production vehicles. This will allow the Audi e-Tron to get set for the next stretch of a long distance drive, all within half an hour!
It can also be charged using AC (Alternating Current) though this will take longer, recharging at 22kW is also available as an option.
Audi e-Tron design.
The car looks amazing, there;s no doubt about that. Not only does it look great the insides are just as good.
The Audi Virtual cockpit is amazing, it has a sleek display and it stands virtually free in space and can display the optional virtual exterior mirrors. The navigation system will also intelligently give you suggestions based on previous routes!
Fake Faces. Sounds insane doesn’t it. Sounds almost as if you’d be able to notice a fake face right? It’s a face, surely it’s noticeable. Well, we found out that, that surely is not the case. There are now businesses that sell fake people. On a website called Generated.Photos. You are able to buy a ‘unique, worry-free’ fake person. For anythign from $2.99 up to $1000!!
You can use the fake people in a video game or to make your company website appear more diverse. You are even able to get their photos for free on ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com. Furthermore, and get this, adjust their likeness as required. Such as make them old or young or even change their ethnicity! A company called Rosebud.AI will even animate them and make them talk!
The ‘fakers’ have appeared all on the internet and have been used as masks by real people. Used for ill intent: spies who don an attractive face in an effort to infiltrate the intelligence community. Furthermore right-wing propagandists have said to hide behind fake profiles. Or online harassers who troll their targets with a friendly visage.
Fake Faces
The NY Times even created their own AI system to understand how easy it was to generate different fake faces.
The system will see each face as a complex mathematical figure, a range of values that can be adjusted. Thus changing the value will change the face as you see fit.
The NYT system used a different approach. Instead of values that shifted, it generated two values to establish a starting and end point for all values and then created the images in between.
These images have become possible in recent years thanks to AI called generative adversarial networks. So, you feed a computer program with loads of photos of real people. The program will then study them and come up with it’s own photos of people. Another part of the system will then try and detect which of those photos are fake. This back and forth makes the fake photos even more indistinguishable from the real thing! The portraits that were used in the NYT story (which we urge you to check out!) was using GAN software that was made public. By Nvidia, the graphics company.
Who knows where this tech could lead? Maybe there could be a whole party of fake people? It will become so difficult to determine who is real and who is fake!
“When the tech first appeared in 2014, it was bad — it looked like the Sims,”
“It’s a reminder of how quickly the technology can evolve. Detection will only get harder over time.”
Camille François, a disinformation researcher whose job is to analyze manipulation of social networks.
Fake Faces and Advancing Tech
So, one of the reasons as to why these pics are so impressive is due to tech advancing so quickly. Tech has got so good at identifying facial features. We use our faces to unlock our phones or tell a photo software to determine who is who in a group of photos. Facial recognition is ued to identify criminal suspects. Facial tech is used every single day!
What makes it even more impressive is a company called Clearview AI scraped the web of billions of public photos. Which were shared by everyday users. Creating an app which can recognise a stranger in one photo.
While this facial recognition tech is impressive, other A.I. systems aren’t as perfect. Thanks to the underlying bias in teh data used to train the tech. Some systemes just aren’t good at recognizing people of color. As in 2015, an early image detection system developed by Google labeled two Black people as ‘gorillas’. Most likely because the system had been fed many more photos of gorillas than people of dark skin.
Cameras, the eyes of facial recognition systems aren’t good at capturing people with dark skin. That unfortunate standard dates back to the early days of film development when photos were calibrated to best show the faces of light-skinned people. The consequences of this can be severe. In January, a Black man in Detroit named Robert Williams was arrested for a crime he did not commit because of an incorrect facial-recognition match.
Flawed
AI can make our lives easier. Though it is flawed. As are we.However, the thing to remember is that we as humas choose how these A.I. systems are made and what data they’re exposed to. We choose the voices that teach virtual assistants to hear. Which in turn leads the systems to not understand people with accents. It’s all down to us and the data that we feed it. The A.I. system is only reacting to what we put into it and reacting to a set of instructions that we feed it. If x is x, then if the system notices x it will show only x. So to speak. So if we were to design a computer to predict a person’s criminal behavior by feeding it data about past rulings. Made by a human jude. Which in turn will be biased towards those judges. Humans train computers to see how we want them to see. So if we were to label glasses as nerds or dweebs. It will associated people with glasses as nerds of dweebs!
Trust
We are all too quick to trust that a computer is hyperactive and always right. But studies have shown that in situations where humans and computers must cooperate to make a decision. For example identify fingerprints or human faces. People will consistently make the wrong identification when a computer nudged them to do so. In the early days of GPRS systems, drivers famously followed the devices directions to send them to cliffs or lakes.
We really do urge you to check out the New York Times’ Interactive blog post on this because it is fascinatingthere’s lots of interactivity on the site too. It really shows what technology is capable of. WOW!
You can create amazing content with your phone, we all know that. But what if it can be enhanced? Well DJI have created the DJI OM 4 a foldable stabilizer designed to complement your smartphone.

PS5 was recently released in the UK, with many customers ordering from Amazon. However, many have been left bewildered with the fact that they were delivered bags of rice instead of a PS5!
It seems as though they have been allegedly stolen before they were delivered on Thursday 19th and Friday 20th November. Buyers had pre-ordered these devices months in advance and took to Twitter to share their dismay at being left out in the cold. Having their expensive consoles (£450) replaced by various kitchen appliances and other random electrical goods. Such as foot massagers, cat food, and George Foreman grills. Whereas others had their consoles marked as delivered when in fact they weren’t.
MTV Journo Bex April May tweeted about having her PS5 ‘missed’ around Thursday afternoon. When in fact no delivery had been attempted. However when she did receive a package, it was nothing by an air fryer.
Happy #PS5 day everyone. Tried to document our one’s unveiling, but Amazon have tricked us with an unsolicited air fryer instead (after giving delivery password). Anyone else had this problem today? pic.twitter.com/99IUSzSJUU
The console has been highly sort after in both the US and the UK. Amazon sold out of pre-orders in September and when they went on sale on launch day, they too sold out within minutes at 1pm. However some buyers are putting their consoles online for over £1,000!
Amazon Ps5 Statement
Amazon released a statement responding to the wave of complaints and Amazon said that it was investigating what happened and for those affected to contact it’s customer service team.
‘We’re all about making our customers happy, and that hasn’t happened for a small proportion of these orders.
We’re really sorry about that and are investigating exactly what’s happened.
We’re reaching out to every customer who’s had a problem and made us aware so we can put it right.
Anyone who has had an issue with any order can contact our customer services team for help.’
